‘The For lease sign is still up but the racial slur has since been removed,’ Ms Halliwell said.

Members of the public have taken to social media slamming the person who put up the racist poster.

‘Disgusting, if they are legally in Australia then they have every right to rent,’ one user said.

Another user guessed that a racist neighbour was the culprit.

‘Did they contact the agent to have it removed it would be a racist neighbour that put it there not the agent,’ she said.

Dr Dvir Abramovich Chairman of the Anti-Defamation Commission said: ‘We deplore in the strongest possible terms this unacceptable outburst of, prejudice-fuelled behaviour. I am increasingly concerned about the tide of bigotry and anti-immigrant fervour that is reaching fever pitch.

‘In addition to the individual directly targeted, such troubling attacks deeply affect the entire community and leaves it feeling vulnerable. As Jews, we know all too well what it is like to be targeted by acts of racism, and we are proud to stand in solidarity with the Chinese community.’
